I used it with the Bose soundock portable and it worked great for about 3 months. Then it just stopped. Since it was not purchased direct there was no help.Recommend purchase direct from manufacturer.I have tried the keysound since and it is much more glitchy and prone to dropping off the network. Dolry is definitely better.

It'll work with any dock speaker that comes with 30-pin, including the beosound 8. The sound quality is very good, true hi-def audio.

I don't recommend this product for the Beoplay 8. Connection is inconsistent and technical support/customer service is lacking. I bought the Auris Skye instead and it works like a charm. The Auris Skye was specifically tested with the Beoplay 8 by the manufacturer and guaranteed to work.

I have my headset working with 8.1 and no issues with the drivers. I installed it from the cd that came with it. I tried to get newer drivers from the site but I could never connect so I stopped trying.

This worked for me also. I accidentally missed step 3, but it found the headset anyway. I had trouble getting it to connect (right click on headset in bluetooth device menu -> Control then pushing the connect button), but after a couple off/on cycles of the headset and hitting the connect button after turning on, it finally connected and now I have music playing. Thanks to OP for solution.

Did you get it? I have one of them, it doesn't work. Neither do 3 others I have tried in the last week though, so I think I have a bad sound card. Sorry - I think it worked alright before it stopped working, but I could not swear it and I have a PC. Good luck.

I have this adapter because I wanted higher fidelity and when watching TV, have the sound line up with what was happening on the screen. Normal Blue Tooth without codec, the sound lags the screen. My BT headphones , the WP-380, run BT 3.0 and work great using AptX codec

I have had the same issues...I bought these and have not been able to use them because Windows 8 does not recognize them. The manual looks like it should have come with a $1.99 set of headphones as it is useless. I would highly recommend, until these headphones are upgraded, you don't buy them. I wish I had returned mine and bought some that actually works with todays technology.

Thanks T. J. Schaefer! It worked perfectly. I did have to go in under sound settings to change my default audio device, but I'm up and running now. :)

I got the iHome about four months ago, and I found that when i had the static, it was only when I had the 3d mode on. SO that is what I found to be the problem for me. Good luck and I will no longer pay attention to this discussionps. I really don't find the 3d mode to be pleasant, so I don't use it anyway. and why would you have it on, while it wasn't playing music?

hi there - did you also apply the firmware upgrade? wondering if that helps the noise further. thanks- andrew

I have been having a problem with mine. The sound keeps kind of cutting out and cutting back in. It goes to a lower volume with lower sound quality and then goes back to normal. Has anyone else been having this issue or is my headset defective?

Yes, mine seemed to be doing a Lil extra to make it sounds clear. Since friends said the background was interfering with me telling to them, but they are always clear. Just the ear hook is uncomfortable and doesn't stay with head movement.I used mine mostly for phone, but Xbox is clear, sometimes too clear

Hey. So how did this go? I'd like to try this as well. Figure it would take dust etc out on the air even with the be best on. Any insight would be appreciate! Thx.

during set up, how was the volume set in your computer/pad/phone? i control the volume in my setup, from my iPad. i believe that i too had that issue, and my son enlightened me. i may also have incorrectly set up the blue tooth. certainly glad my son is patient... because i have only been retired from being a computer programmer for over 30 years, would have hoped that i would have been able to set up a small speaker on my own!

Sound quality on Bluetooth devices is a confusing issue. So I'll try to clarify. There are two defining factors : 1. "Audio Source Quality" and 2. "Bluetooth transmission CODEC". 1. is simple enough, but 2. isn't. A BT device has several "Codecs", that it works with. For audio stream, major ones are "aptX" "AAC" and "SBC". And "SBC" is the root cause of "inferior audio quality on Bluetooth". "Sub-band codec" is the full name, and it's a codec designed for devices with low processing power. To put simply, it sounds absolutely aweful! If your smartphone supports "aptX" and or "AAC", the sound quality will be good, good enough that average person will not notice degration. With "SBC", most music fans will notice the difference. Then it will get really confusing, if a device only supports "aptX / SBC" and not "AAC". Most Androids support "aptX / SBC", in this case, "aptX" will be used and sounds fine. iPhones on the other hand, only supports "AAC/SBC" and not "aptX". In this case, iPhone falls back to using "SBC", and works with bad quality audio. And Mediabridge seems to be this device, that "Works well with Androids" and "Kinda works with iPhones, albeit with bad quality audio". If you ask anyone about the "Sound quality on BT device", it is vitally important to know "What was used with", as you may be comparing oranges to apples, two completely different codecs housed in the same box. For marketing reasons, as long as a device works even with SBC, it is labled as "Wokrs with iPhone". You should be very careful choosing a BT device for audio, to use with iPhone. #If you weren't satisftied with the earbuds that came with an early Apple iPhones, you will definitely notice the high-pitched harmonic distortion of SBC.

Reading what's been posted, I can't find if this has AptX capability. Has anyone experienced latency from their bluetooth transmitter using a TV to this device with corded headphones? Thanks...Mike

Sound channels are wrong? Is it because you are unable to match up the proper channels to those on the card? I ran into this issue for a bit but eventually found the right channels. Part of the issue is that I don't think the coloring is universal and 2 of the channels required using conversion cables. Otherwise I have 7.1 playing pretty well through these headphones.

Last month I tried them with an ipod and they worked great and the sound was good. I think the sound volume is only low when it works with the Innotab. But unfortunately the black ear piece covering continuosly fell off and one was lost. They just would not stay on. I personally am looking for a different pair. I hope this helps.
